Description

fourcastnet_tc completes the first wave of experimental foundation-weather storm adapters in the staged roadmap.

The PyHazards version is intentionally lightweight and uses the same trajectory output contract as the other storm baselines.

Benchmark Compatibility

Primary benchmark family: Tropical Cyclone Benchmark

Mapped benchmark ecosystems: IBTrACS

Supported Tasks

  • Track + Intensity

Programmatic Use

import torch
from pyhazards.models import build_model

model = build_model(name="fourcastnet_tc", task="regression", input_dim=8, history=6, horizon=5)
preds = model(torch.randn(2, 6, 8))
print(preds.shape)

Notes

  • Experimental adapter: intended for shared-evaluator prototyping rather than exact weather-model parity.
